I told Mr. Walter Russ (Buffalo, R&D, 873-9750) that SG-210 was not available for export due to short supply. f suggested that he try HPO at I0JS less and told him that it was available In Europe through WR Grace. At 10? less price, plus reduced shipping costs (due to higher bulk density), HPO can compete with SG-210. On July 18, Mr. Russ advised that HPO looked good at 1C? less and he had advised their affiliate. He noted that they had done only fab tests; that, if they were planning a change in their own plants, they would run extensive field trials. WR Grace has been requested for HPO supply information for both Norway and France. HPO could have domestic application in highest quality gypsum compounds. UCC 025629 vJ O 1 .,
